『约翰福音3章16节：“ 上帝爱世人，甚至将他的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信他的，不至灭亡，反得永生。”』 John 3:16 :“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

1 Corinthians 5:5 :“deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.”

Today’s Meditation: Church cannot provide unlimited protection and shelter to flesh to avoid other members from getting contaminated. “Amputation” is necessary to protect the whole body in such case. The handling method by church in such way is to make sinners to realise their perilous situation and the necessity to repent. Sinners who humble and repent will be able to revive their faith and moral life. The purpose of church for setting up such punishment is to save people from perish instead of revenge. Our flesh will perish, but more importantly is the salvation of our soul.
